RECORDS OF THE SUDBURY ARCHDEACONRY.

BY VINCENT B. REDSTONE,

H. TERRIERSAND SURVEYS.

Constitutions and Canon,Ecclesiastical, issued in 1604, contain an injunction (No. 87), " that a T HEtrue note and terrier of all the glebe lands, &c., . . and portions of tithes lying out of their parishes—which belong to any Parsonage, Vicarage, or rural Prebend. be taken by the view of honest men in every parish, by the appointnient of the Bishop—whereof the minister be one—and be laid up in the Bishop's Registry, there to be for a perpetual memory thereof." This injunction does not fix the frequency with which the terriers were to be procured by the Bishop, and, consequently, existing docu- ments of that• character are not to be found for any definite years or periods. It is evident by the existence of early terriers in .the keeping -of the Registrar for the , that such returns were made by churchwardens along .with their presentments• before the year 1604. The terriers at Bury St. Edmund's commence as early as 1576, whilst those in the Bishop's Registry at Norwich, date from 1627.. It is unknown from what circumstances the Archdeacons' Registrars became i)ossessed Of documents which the above mentioned canon dis- tinctly enjoins should be laid up in the Bishop's Registry. In the Exchequer 'there is a terrier of all the glebe lands in , made about the eleventh year of the reign'of Edward iii. The taxes levied upon the temporal

possessionSof the Church in every parish throughout the Diocese (see Hail ms. 1005, fo. 29, et seq.) during the episcopacy of Walter, Bishop of Norwich, 1245-1257, could have been adjusted only upon the existence of a roll or survey of the lands belonging to all ecclesiastical bodies and foundations. All the religious houses possessed surveys and rentals of their estates. The completeness with which these surveys were made and carried out, may be seen by the minute details entered in those which now fortunately remain. The registers once belonging to Bury Abbey are well known. Among the other pre-Reformation ." extents" and surveys which refer to lands. in , the most 'interesting are those referring to Hadleigh and Monks' Eleigh, manors of Christ Church, Canterbury (Harl. 1006), to Hinderclay and Rickinghall (Add. ms. 31,970), to Bawdsey—a manor of Butley Priory— this survey. was made by Walter Fulbourne, c. 1470, and to the manors of Ely in 1277 (Claudius cxi.). As the latter extent throws great light upon the subdivision of lands and. the nomenclature Of fields, I purpose to give various extracts which will give assistance in the explana- tion of terms used in the accompanying Calendar of the terriers which may be consulted upon reference to the Records of the Sudbury Archdeaconry.

In the survey of the Manors of Mettingham, Ilketshall and Ship- meadow, taken in 1562, the arable lands were measured by the perch of sixteen and a half feet, but the woods were measured by the perch of eighteen feet. • In the Glemsford survey it is stated that the works are by the - lesser numbering, four thousand eight hundred and forty-eight, some- times they increase owing to the length of the summer, sometimes they decrease on account of its shortness. Whether within or without the autumn season three works ate valued at one penny. SUDBURY ARCEIDEACONRY. 275

The.se early surveys help us to understand upon what conditions the various parcels of glebe-lands became situated in different parts of the parish. The areas under cultivation, whether known as lands, " Inlands," Out- lands," or as shifts, were measured out into acres, " quaren- tines " or " virgates," by a perch . of varying .length, '18i ft., .161 ft., or 151 ft., so that the acre in one parish was sometimes greater, sometimes less than the acre in neighbouring parishes. The virgate was liable to variation, in one instance we find it contained only twenty acres. There is, imwever, a special point to note in the foregoing surveys, viz., that Mr. Birch's eloquent plea for the four ,ox team is based upon false premisses, as it is distinctly stated that Suffolk ploughs required teams of eight oxen. The constitution of the team varied as to the number of " stots " or bullocks which Were to accompany the older and more .experienced cattle. In the Hitcham team four " stots " were admitted, whilst it was deemed practicable. to join only two " stots " to the Wetheringset team. It appears that in most villages the land under culti- vation was,parcelled out into large fields, -knoWnas " lands." or shifts. The survey of the parish of in 1578, classes the lands under three " Procincti," which were divided into quarentines. The Proeinctus, wherein stood the church, hall, market filace, fairstead, and chapel, was the central one, and contained ten quarentines, as did the third Procinctus, in which the woods lie. The outer " Pro- cinctus," consisting mainly of arable. land, contained eleven quarentines, one of which was sub-divided into twenty-eight parcels, the largest contained fifteen acres. The terriers of glebe lands furnish us with the names of many of these variods subdivisions or parcels of land, and add to our local knowledge of the district. by explain- ing many terms, which have become so corrupted as to be otherwise unexplainable. , The Church acquired. its . lands by gifts, hy .endow- ments, or by purchase. No church could, be erected until a suitable endowment of glebe land had been made. . In : 276 RECORDS OF THE

some cases, as at Melford, Eyke, and Hasketon, the endowMent took the form of a manor. In the days of Edward the Confessor, AlUrick son of Wigor bestowed upon. the church of MeHord 236 acres of land besides 11.1.- acres .of meadow, this land comprised the two carucates mentioned in the Domesday Survey. The terrier for 1613 is a complete and interesting survey of the Rectory Manor. In some instances, however, as at ,.Hunsdon, and Ix worth Thorpe,,no glebe lands remain, nor could it be found by the " holiest men " that these churches ever held any glebe. Oftimes the parcels of glebe are very numerous, Honington Church held fifty- four acres, One rood, twenty perches, in seventy-four pieces; scattered about in diverse lands ; .Thelnetham held seventy-two pieces, amounting in area to sixty acres. The parcels " in the shifts as they lay in sundry furlongs," varied greatly in size ; the Rickingh all parson claimed a piece of meadow measuring from "stulp.to stulp"* twelve feet. Of the thirty-two pieces of Saxham Parva glebe, sixteen pieces lay in Blyshall Field, and thirteen • in Wrong Oak Field. Some glebe was to be found in other parishes ; Worlington Church held a parcel-in the common fields of , " a small piece was doled out in the common meadow of " as glebe for Aldham, and the " tithes of the entrecommon field betwixt and. Westow " were shared by the parsons of both churches. A piece in Badwell, known as ." Three parsons' bush," .paid tithes to three churches. These facts carry us back to the times when new churches were erected to 'supply 'the wants.of a growing population in our rural villages, and when two or three districts formed a unit for assess- ment, known as a " villa integer." The names of fields as Bell Meadow, Lampland, Bread Close, Taper acre, clearly indicate the purpose for which the gift of land was made to the church. The circumstances attending the consolidation of Rectories, as of magna and parva are mentioned. • We obtain occasional glimpses of the robbing *A small wooden post or stake to mark a boundary. SUDBURY ARCEIDEACONRY. • 277- of church lands by Henry vim, and in the Fordham terrier complaint is made how the Abbott of Sempringham 'unjustly defrauded the church of a manor and its rights. • I have endeavoured in an accompanying glossary to explain some of the more •interesting field names, -and their terminations. It is noticeable that many fields take their names from their shape or position, as Goreacre, Harpacre or the Horpe, Language, Highfield, Overwonge, Overhedmere, Sugar Loaf ; some from -the characteristics of the soil, Sloughland, Gravelpitacre, Blackheath, Ston- lays, Wrongland ; others from some natural feature, as Womansgrave, Brackland, Greengrass bushes, Bromewent, Cutshawe, Dodthornes, Ash went. The. terriers drawn up after 1613 give the customs attending .the payment of :tithes, many of which are extremely curious, especially those which refer to the tithe on milk. Good Friday was the general day for collecting tithe eggs, and Lammas day.for bringing the tithe cheese to church in sOme parishes ; .at Barningham the parson was expected to " provide his parishioners with a. sip of .wholesome victuals at his house after the Sunday afternoon service." The tithe customs of Barn- ingham should be carefully studied ; the term " Loke" has not its usual significance. Sufficient has been said to show that the terriers are of °Teat value to the local historian.
